It looked reasonable on paper.

But these new territories were new to voting, and the voters were vulnerable to intimidation by armed gangs.

All the elections in Kansas and Nebraska were denounced as being rigged, and the results were fairly close anyway.

In the end, the war settled the matter.

How did new states enter the union as free or slave after the compromise of 1850?

The Compromise of 1850 put out a signal that it was going to be much harder to create new slave-states, and the South was unhappy about this. The prominent Illinois Democrat, Stephen Douglas, believed that he could reconcile the two sections by allowing the citizens of each new state to vote whether it should be slave or free. He called this 'Popular Sovereignty'. It passed into law, in the Kansas-Nebraska Act, but he had not foreseen that by allowing one state to vote at a time, it would be an invitation for every bully-boy in America to cross into one thinly-populated area and create mayhem. The first time it eas tried, the result was called 'Bleeding Kansas'.


How did domestic policy during the Monroe Administration contribute to sectionalism?

James Monroe led to sectionalism by passing the Compromise of 1820, also known as the Missouri Compromise. This compromise stated that for any state that has slavery, it must have a sister state in which slaves are free. This idea was controversial and led to a deeper feud between the North and the South. They had already been disagreeing in the Senate, which was also feeling the affects of sectionalism. The Senate had divided into North, South, and West sections. The North and South always disagreed, therefore causing the West to make all the decisions. Mainly, the Missouri Compromise added to growing sectionalism in our country under James Monroe.

When the temperature rises what might happen to the sections of concrete if there are no gaps between them?

As the temperature rises, concrete expands due to thermal expansion. Without gaps between sections, the concrete may crack or buckle as it has no room to expand. This can lead to structural damage and compromise the integrity of the concrete structure.

What are Metal joints are placed between concrete sections?

Metal joints, such as expansion joints or control joints, are often placed between concrete sections to allow for movement and prevent cracking. These joints help to accommodate the expansion and contraction of the concrete due to temperature changes, thereby reducing the likelihood of cracking and maintaining the structural integrity of the concrete pavement or structure.


Why are there gaps in the side walk?

The gaps that are put in place at the time of construction are called, "expansion joints". When concrete, and other materials, heat up, they expand. If concrete expands too much it will press against other sections of concrete and can break or "buckle". When sections of concrete press against each other too hard, sometimes two adjacent sections will press up, creating a dangerous condition for anyone walking on the sidewalk. Expansion joints give a little space for the concrete to expand before anything bad happens. Even with expansion joints, it's sometimes not enough.


The rails on a railroad track have small gaps between sections of metal rails . Why are these gaps needed?

They are there to allow for the expansion of the rails during hot weather.


What is an expansion joint in construction?

An "expansion joint" is a joint left in between sections of the same material, like concrete or steel, that allows movement as the material heats up or cools down. Without it, concrete, for example, can expand and crack in hot temperature.


What is thermal expansion and how bridge roads and sidewalks compensate or deal with thermal expansion?

Thermal expansion (TE) is a process in which materials expand due to changes in temperature. How different structures deal with or compensate thermal expansion (just some examples): Bridges and other structures have expansion joints (there are gaps in the road, which you hear/feel when crossing them in a car for example - usually in both ends of the bridge and sometimes in between as well, depending on the lenght of the bridge). Sidewalks - depends on the material of the sidewalk (sometimes there may be some spaces between different sections, but the temperature fluctuations are not so huge that it is reasonable to use any predicament against TE. Railroads - do you know the banging sound really associated with trains and railroad? This is a basic example of thermal expansion compensation. The tracks are assembled so that the ends of two track sections are not touching each other. The gap in between allows the track to expand in heat (therefore the sound of train wheels rattling is louder in the winter when the gaps are bigger and less in the summer)
